Thanks for your help. I sent it back to the extended warranty company after discussing it with them on the phone (it very quickly went from happening for just a second to staying that way unless I held my thumb next to the "Samsung" icon, and it's irreparable. They just submitted a credit to...

Oh wow, I didn't realize I was still subscribed to this thread. My Nexus is my back up tablet now, lol.

Okay, a little background. Not even six weeks - more like four - after I purchased the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, I had to have it in for warranty repair because the display screen was cracked. Took freaking forever to get it back fixed (I'm thinking along the lines of a month to six weeks, I haven't...

That's not actually all that surprising to me. I've had a few USB cables go bad. My Nexus 7 cable went bad within a couple of months, same with the cable for the external charger for my cell phone. The weak points are just past the reinforcement where you plug the cable into the device and...

Do the other Samsung tablets have similar battery issues? If they can't repair mine (extended warranty with accidental damage covered), I'm not certain that I want to replace it with something with a large battery drain issue.

Okay, now I'm coming from a couple of years with a Nook, and a year with a Nexus, dropping both of them, well, a lot, and not having a problem with them. However, and thank goodness we got the extended warranty with this, within a week, I dropped the tablet, and not the glass, but the display...

I have a question about rooting it. Would rooting it violate the warranty on it? I'm actually not entirely sure I will need the 16 gb on my SD card, I only used 12 gb on my 32 gb Nexus, but I'm not sure about the difference in memory on the bloatware. I'm currently only using a negligible...

I actually read an article, well a couple, several months ago, that said the difference between UHD and 1080 your eyes wouldn't be able to register it. Well, it was more like the current standard for HD is as high as the human eye can register a change, so while there may be a difference in UHD...

Not sure that's any faster than what it takes mine on the factory provided cable, or any other USB cable, to charge from 70%.

Like others have said, at Best Buy, they are available for only $50 more than the 16 gb version. It's just that Best Buy has the exclusive contract to sell them in the US. If I hadn't mis-read a description on New Egg's website, and looked closer to Best Buy's tablets, I would have found it...

Well, my current Nexus is being replaced by an S 8.4 as soon as it comes in the mail either today or tomorrow. I'll be using the Nexus for a few more days just for the Nook app, since I'm in the middle of a book, but other than that, everything else will be happening on the new tablet - and my...

Look on the Best Buy website. It's available now at Best Buy exclusively. No other vendor that I looked at had it, except Best Buy. And the good news is it's only another $50, I believe, to double your space.

Is it okay if I read using my Nook app while I'm charging? That's usually the only thing I do with my tablet when it's charging, and so far, it hasn't affected the battery life yet, that I know of (again, that's with my Nexus, my Galaxy S 8.4 is coming on Wednesday). I know when I'm charging...

I was just wondering. Part of my "research" in determining which device to buy (I had pretty much narrowed it down to a Samsung device by that time) was finding out which tablet came out when. On searching, what I found was that the Tab 4 came out in April, the Pro came out in, I think May...

I sort of have a stock of USB cables on hand - but that's for my Nexus. The cable that came WITH my Nexus "broke" pretty quickly just above where you plug it into the device, the wires broke and started protuding from the sheath, so yeah, it didn't charge anymore. I have USB cords from old...
